1 Timothy 1:12-14
1 Timothy 1: 12 to 14
12 Thankfulness for Mercy I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful and appointed me to the ministry.
13 I was previously a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man. But I was shown mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 The grace of our Lord overflowed with the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
